CROSS COUNTRY 2nd and 3rd place:

We would just love to share with you all how awesome our week has been in Tūhura. We talk all the time in our team about what it means to be a good friend and what this looks like. We love the team conversations we have around this and we have see change. Our team catch word is "KINDNESS" and it is great seeing how all the students are trying their hardest to live kindness in all they do at school. Today we made pink t-shirts to show what words reflect kindness for each of us. Keep an eye out in our team next week as we display them. Thanks you all for your awesome children.

Have a great weekend!
